Research

Mushrooms have traditionally been used as medicine throughout history. They are especially known in Chinese medicine, but have found their way into Western medicine as well.

It is important to say that most of the studies are not conclusive. It is important for our mission to spread the knowledge of mushrooms and therefore we follow the ongoing science very closely.

This is simply a list of various studies made about the mushrooms we use in our product.
